Beautiful location—peaceful, with lovely ocean views.The kitchen does need updating, though, as the non-stick pans are peeling (which isn’t ideal from a health perspective).Overall, we had a fantastic time!
A quiet location with a beautiful view of Boat Beach. House was clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay again

View gets this property across the line
Incredible view, calm and private. Property a bit old and grimy and could use a face lift. Wouldn't hurt to supply some extra toilet rolls - very close to running out.
The shack is a truly amazing place . The views and light are what makes it special . We had terrible weather throughout but just watching from the verandah took our blues away
The place is tired and at some point in time the owner needs to invest in his / hers cash egg.
But would I stay there again ? At a drop of a hat !
This is a funky (older) property - awesome views - our last day we had a full day of watching whales and dolphins splash in the bay - was awesome. Just what we needed for a mini-break.
